Josh Gomez To Transfer To Play Men’s Basketball
July 26, 2012 | Men's Basketball
Bowling Green, Ohio – Bowling Green State University men's basketball coach Louis Orr has announced that Josh Gomez will transfer from Iona to Bowling Green. Gomez will join the program for the 2012-13 season but will sit out the season per NCAA rules. He will then have three years of eligibility remaining.
Gomez, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound post player from Bronx, N.Y., was the lone freshman on last year's Iona team, which advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Prior to his time at Iona, Gomez attended prestigious Rice High School in New York City's Catholic High School Athletic Association. A program that is perennially among the conference's best teams and a nationally ranked program, Gomez helped lead Rice to a sixth straight Archdiocesan AA varsity boys basketball championship as a senior with a 14-point performance against St. Raymond's. In a regionally televised game in the SNY Invitational, Gomez had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in a victory over eventual New York State Federation Class AA champion Mount Vernon High School.
“Josh comes from a great high school program at the former Rice High School and he added experience playing on a veteran Iona team last year,” Bowling Green head coach Louis Orr said. “He has a strong work ethic and having him for three years is a big plus. I know the pedigree and passion of young men who come from New York City and he is also a good student and a quality person. On the floor, he will give us length and size in the front court. He can stretch the defense with his outside shooting as well as being able to score in the post. He is a mobile post player who blocks shots and runs the court well. ”
Bowling Green enters the 2012-13 season with three starters returning from a team that went 16-16 a year ago and advanced to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament during the postseason. The Falcons posted two wins over eventual NCAA Tournament teams, defeating both Temple and Ohio.
